Wait, who urinated in the house?

Etre!

(My grandma used to say feesh for fish.) Definitely some regional differences.

My pet peeve is when someone says "try and" instead of "try to".

Good God, Shut the fuck up, you sound like a fucking twit. Get on with the substance of the discussion. You are starting to sound like a school marm.

Classicman. You just can't take him anywhere *sighs*

I can't tell if it's the bias of the media I soak up, or an actually reasonable reading of the climate right now, but I get a sense that people are sick of suffering so much of a headache going through airport security when it so completely failed.

I'm getting optimistic that we might roll back some of the more unproductive security measures and focus in on the few that really work. Trade some of our illusory security for that liberty we hocked back in '01.

But I don't watch TV. Is it just my bubble?

xoxoxoBruce · 12-30-2009, 03:03 AM

I think you're right, gvidas, people are fed up with the bullshit, and attitudes of these self important assholes in the airport. I wonder how much of the population actually fly. I don't, because I don't have to, but would if it weren't such a hassle. Plus I can be all smug about not creating a larger carbon footprint by flying.

Shawnee123 · 12-30-2009, 07:54 PM

oh my, excuse me. I actually had something to post about the enlightenin' I got from this thread, interweaved with discussions about what I was talking about, what I was feeling about these latest incidents, and how they relate to my typical world view and my profession. THen I got embarrassed at my openness and deleted it.

Ha! Good luck with your god shutting me the fuck up.

I'll shut down for a while. I'll never shut up.

I don't want you to to STFU in general, just in the case of picking apart stupid ideas of what you think people should or should not post as they write their thoughts. Now STFU.

There is no God, if there was you would have been smited.

Shawnee123 · 12-30-2009, 07:59 PM

Fuck you, you giant dickhead.

Do you ever get sick of yourself? I mean, I do, myself. But I'm aware of it, and the effect I might have on others. I don't think you self-examine that much, but you should know, for the record...you are tiresome. And boring.

Wow. No. I don't really care that much wtf you or anyone else thinks. But I do respect a lot of people on here. Boring? Wow, crushed, not. What you see is what you get. Do I get sick of myself? No. Not for a fucking minute. If I did I would go and get some drugs to make me accept myself. But alas, I don't feel a need to do that. Or I would just sit around my house and feel sorry for myself. But no, I have never done that. How about you? People do what they have to do to get by in life. I am half way there. So I am going to ride this sled down to the bottom and have a hell of a time on the way there. I hope you can do the same. Peace.
